“…Training and competing at the elite level impose significant stress on the individual. Canoeists, especially elite ones, encounter many of the typical issues observed in sports medicine [4,11]. The specific medical challenges in canoeing are often linked to environmental factors, particularly accidental turnovers during training or competition.…”

“…Canoeing and kayaking are popular water sports that require a combination of physical fitness, technical skills, and physiological adaptations [1][2][3]. The prevalence of injuries in these sports is a concern, with studies identifying a range of acute and chronic injuries, influenced by factors such as skill level, weather conditions, and competition characteristics [4].…”

“…Sci. 2024, 14, 2637 2 of 12 three distinct phases [4,11]: (a) the paddle's entry into the water, also known as the attack; (b) the application of maximum force during the middle part, referred to as traction; and (c) the paddle's exit from the water, termed extraction, and recovery. In the attack phase, the paddle is at its furthest distance from the canoeist, with the lower arm extended and the upper arm semi-extended above the head.…”

(1) Background: The purpose of this study was to analyze the number of injuries in the canoe and kayak disciplines. (2) Methods: A cross-sectional and retrospective epidemiological study was conducted on a convenience sample of elite canoeists and kayakers during the Spanish Championships of each canoeing and kayaking modality. Retrospective data were collected on the number, body area, type, and severity of injuries sustained in previous seasons, as well as other affiliation data. Four separate multiple linear regression models were used to investigate the impact of the sports mode of canoeing, age, and sex on the occurrence of injuries. (3) Results: The findings indicate a distinction in injury frequency between canoeing and kayaking modalities, with injuries being more common in canoeing. The occurrence of mild injuries decreases with age among canoeists, while remaining consistent in kayaking. As athletes age, confidence intervals increase. Canoeists have a higher injury probability, and across all injury types, men have a lower injury risk. (4) Conclusions: The frequency of injuries is higher in the canoe modality across all age groups. Coaches and athletes should be well-informed about the insights provided in this study to implement targeted injury prevention strategies, especially in women canoeists.

“…In water calm, there are two modalities: kayaking and canoeing. The latter was the object of the present study and it differs from the former for being unilateral and asymmetric, where the paddling is performed at one side with a single-bladed paddle oar, with the paddler leaning on the boat on his/her opposite knee and foot [4,5].…”

“…To understand these adaptations and the injury risk factors of this discipline, it is necessary to analyse in detail the sporting gesture of paddling in a canoe. This, for its biomechanical analysis, can be divided into three phases: (a) entry of the paddle into the water or attack; (b) application of maximum force in the middle part or traction; and (c) exit of the shovel from the water or extraction and recovery [2,5]. During the attack, the paddle is in the most distant position from the canoeist because he is with the lower arm extended and the upper arm semi-extended above the head.…”

Knowing the most frequent injuries in canoeists is important, considering the consequences for the athlete’s sports career, health, and labour, social and economic life. Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe the most frequent injuries among high-level canoeists and the intrinsic variables of the sport’s practice (years of practice, number of training sessions per week, and stretching habit) that can influence the appearance of such injuries. An observational, transversal, and retrospective epidemiological study was carried out with 122 canoeists that completed a sport injuries questionnaire (number, body area, type, and severity of injuries). The ratio of injuries per participant was 1.1 injuries/year in men; and 1.5 injuries/year in women. Shoulder injuries were the most frequent, followed by knee injuries (in women) and lower back (in men), and the other segments of the upper limbs. In men, injuries occurred more frequently in the central period of training sessions and in women during the last 15 min of training sessions. Then, there is a common profile of injuries in canoeists: Being a female, having more years of sports practice, and never executing stretching exercises are associated with predisposing factors to injuries.
